Focus on the Coast: Mitigating Climate Change at the Local Level: Greenhouse ...Delaware Sea Grant
"Greenhouse Gases and Delaware"
*Presentation by Morgan Ellis, Delaware Division of Energy and Climate
Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC)
The Delaware Sea Grant College Program hosted “Focus on the Delaware Coast: Mitigating Climate Change at the Local Level” on December 4, 2014.
The half-day seminar was part of a series designed to spotlight coastal resource issues and to provide science-based information relevant to local decision-making in Delaware. It was co-hosted with Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control’s (DNREC) Division of Energy and Climate.
Scientific evidence suggests that a changing global climate poses significant threats to earth ecosystems. Delaware is particularly vulnerable to sea level rise related to the warming climate due to its low elevation.
Seminar speakers highlighted:
Current strategies to reduce the effects of climate change in Delaware;
New initiatives and local funding opportunities; and
Local case studies in electric generation, transportation and conservation.
Solving or mitigating global climate effects requires international cooperation, but individual and community conservation and sustainability efforts are equally important to reducing the carbon footprint.
“Delaware communities and businesses are taking important steps to conserve energy and use renewable energy, while UD researchers help to answer important questions and develop technologies to support renewable energy use and conservation,” said Joe Farrell, Delaware Sea Grant resource management specialist and a seminar coordinator.

Sustainability - What's wrong with a little climate change? Anders Lindgren
You may have heard about the dangers of “global warming and climate change”. It’s like old news. It hardly get you concerned. Well, there are some recent findings. Our Earth is getting warmer, wetter, wilder and more crowded than ever. It's scaring the hell out of scientists.
On April 9th, 2010, the NC Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance conducted a webinar about the link between recycling and climate change. These are the slides.

a detailed compilation of global warming- definition, history of discovery, causes, proposed alternative causation theory, green house gases and their potential, current GHGs production rate of India, effects of Global warming, methods to prevent and international protocols applied for GHGs reduction.
This presentation is targeted to the community development practitioners who are working in various field of human welfare as livelihood improvement, human health, water and sanitation, renewable energy etc. this presentation intends to expand their understanding on climate change. Climate change issues are multisectoral and require a multi-stakeholder consultation and action in order to apply adaption and mitigation schemes. It needs to be thought broadly that the problem they are addressing might be the impacts of climate change. Community development workers are the agents of change. They must start advocating on 2°C warmer world as their dissemination of information are quite effective than other means and media.

I was included some material regarding climate change issue this can benefited to all who are searching for climate change related material. the climate change and global warming are very sensitive issue for global living things the shifting of climate, rising sea level, increasing temperature and increasing green house gases concentration effect the plant, animal and animal.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

2. Global Warming
• Global warming is the increase in the average measured
temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans
since the mid-20th century, and its projected
continuation.
• The average global air temperature near the Earth's
surface increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during
the 100 years ending in 2005.

The 2007 rise in global carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations is tied with 2005 as
the third highest since atmospheric measurements began in 1958. The red line
shows the trend together with seasonal variations. The black line indicates the
trend that emerges when the seasonal cycle has been removed. (Credit: NOAA)

10. Climate Change Impact in India
• Rajasthan- Drought
• Rann of Kutch – sea level rise
• Mumbai-Salt water intrusion
• Kerala –Productivity of Forest
• Tamil Nadu-Coral bleaching
• Ganges – Sedimentation problem
• Sunderbans-Sea level raise
• Northwest India-reduction In rice yield
11. Case study:1 Impact on Agriculture
Effect on apple cultivation
• Kullu Valley, Himachal Pradesh
Experienced a number of crop failures in the
last 15 years
• Apple belt has moved 30 kilometers
[northwards] over the last 50 years
• Apple growers, says attributed poor
production to reduced snowfall and its
changed timing.
13. • Shift in Agriculture
• Apple cultivation is affected in Kullu Valley
• Apple belt has moved 30 KM nothwards
• Forest resources were removed
14. 2. Ganga under threat from warming
• Himalayan source of the Ganga is drying up
at a rate of 40 yards a year, nearly twice as
fast as two decades ago, and that some of
these glaciers might disappear by 2030.
• In the dry summer months, the Gangotri
glacier provides up to 70 percent of the water
of the Ganga.
• According to a UN climate report, the
shrinking glaciers also threaten Asia’s supply
of fresh water.

16. 3. Impact on Coastal Orissa
• The Satavaya region, once a cluster of
seven villages.
• Only two out of the seven villages exists the
other five villages have been submerged.
• The Coastal villages have been affected by
cyclone and floods killing more than 30,000
people.
• The sea has ingressed to about 1.5 km into
Satavaya and 2.5 km into Kanakpur.
Satavaya has also lost 56% of its mangrove
vegetation.
17. Global Impacts
• The largest glacier on Mount Kenya has
lost 92% of its mass
• Sea levels have risen by 10 - 25 cm
• The thickness of sea ice in the arctic has
decreased by 40%.
18. • The Common Murre has advanced
breeding by 24 days per decade over the
past 50 years in response to higher
temperatures.
19. • The Baltimore oriole is shifting northward
and may soon disappear entirely from the
Baltimore area.
20. • Polar bear populations are coming under
threat as food becomes harder to hunt.
21. India’s Initiatives
• Signed UNFCC on 10th June 1992
• India ratified the Kyoto protocol
• India has a National Action Plan on Climate Change
– National Solar Mission
– National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency
– National Mission on Sustainable Habitat
– National Water Mission
– National Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem
– National Mission for a “ Green India”
– National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture
– National Mission on Strategic Mission on Climate Change
22. India’s Initiatives
• India has a well developed policy,
legislative regulatory & programmatic
regime
• For promotion of Energy efficiency,
renewable energy, nuclear power, fuel
switching, energy pricing reform
addressing GHG emission

24. The impacts of climate change are not evenly
distributed – the poorest countries and people
will suffer earliest and most. And if and when
the damages appear it will be too late to
reverse the process. Thus we are forced to
look a long way ahead.
